Lorain Police recover dog from abandoned house

LORAIN — Police responded to the 1800 block of East 30th Street on Thursday morning to recover a dog from an abandoned house.
The dog, a large black and white male Husky, could be heard whining and barking from an upstairs window, according to police reports. A large basement window was broken and the dog’s tracks led to the window.
The back door was covered in vines, and an officer had to cut them to enter the house. The officer found the dog cowering in an upstairs bedroom. It was not aggressive, but growled at the officer when he tried to approach.
The officer was able to loop a dog catcher’s snare around its neck and secure it in the patrol car. The dog appeared healthy, but dirty, and was wearing a choker chain with no tags. It was taken to an animal clinic.
